"People are doing amazing things right now on the Web."

"You can have the best technology in the world, but if you don't have a community who wants to use it and who are excited about it, then it has no purpose."

"By 2007, we were finally living in a culture where people get what networks are and what technology can do to connect people."

"I knew I wanted to do something at the nexus of what I call global development and technology."
